FINAL STUFF FOR MONDAY
Final Photo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-wp2fglnmY&feature=youtu.be
1. YouTube ate away all of the quality to my pictures.
2. I tried to copy/paste the youtube link, but it won’t show up as a video. Technology cursed.
Multi Media Photos + Link
Not exactly sure what happened to the photo quality once it hit youtube, but meh.
Yeah, I have phone/in person interviews mixed together. It was worse, but I used Audacity to clean it up a bit.
I used a lot of news photos and archival-type photos in order to tell the story for my multi-media assignment. I did take a ton of photos, however. Some of them didn’t fit into the time restraints for the assignment, so I’ve posted a good chunk of them here, complete with captions that correspond with the audio from the completed assignment.
- Drew recently got a new motorcycle since he rides three hours to Grand Island for club meetings.
- I have subliminally influenced the boyfriend to the point where he buys sparkly things.
- Drew patched into VNVLV / MC in 2012. “Red is for the blood we shed, black is for the mourning.”
- “I just don’t talk about it to people who doesn’t understand. No matter how hard you try, no one will get what we went through.”
- “There is no easy part of coming home. You go home to your own house, it’s too quiet.”
- The new motorcycle is hundreds of pounds heavier than his old bike, but it doesn’t phase him.
- Andrew only wears one spur. It’s a tradition that honors fallen comrades.
- I sew every patch onto Andrew’s vest, and by God, I was going to leave my non-club affiliated mark on there.
- Andrew isn’t very good at being intimidating and biker-y.
- At first, Andrew refused to salute because he had a goatee. Old habits die hard.
- As much as veterans would like to forget, most of them carry scars from deployments.
- Growing old is a privilege denied to many, especially those forward-deployed military members.
- Like many service members, Andrew got a tattoo to memorialize his lost friends.
- A small number of Drew’s medals hang in the front room of his family’s house. He shrugs them off and doesn’t see a point in telling stories about how he earned them.
AMBIGUOUS:

To me, this picture says, “‘MURCA.”
To other people, you know, non-Americans, I’m sure this says, “THE GREAT SATAN!”
ONE-SIDED PHOTOS:

Not all of IA is “4″ Obama, but hey, this is what happened, so the Iowan Republicans can suck it.
Visual Journal
So, here are the things that surround me on a daily basis.

Classy ladies wear pearls – not sweats. I make it a point to dress up every day because I strongly believe in presenting yourself well. I enjoy giving off the impression that I actually care.

After getting home from class, I check the mailbox for dusty letters from Afghanistan. “The world needs more people like you,” the Corporal recently wrote. It was a relief that my efforts actually are helping out forward-deployed military members.

It’ll be a good day when I finish the crossword puzzle in 10 minutes. I enjoy working out my brain before I hit my mundane tasks.

Decisions, decisions. I’m infamous for my obsession with high heels. My trademark is probably the “click, click,” of my heels as I walk down the hallway to class.

A card came with a bouquet of flowers on a random day. “Today is the anniversary of losing the rest of my unit – since I’m still here to enjoy life, I’m want you to have something to enjoy. -Drew”. I dried them and they serve as a reminder that things can always be worse.

“Knit two, purl two.” I fidget excessively, so I’ve found that knitting helps me make a stupid habit more productive.
Multimedia 30 Second Interview
In this multimedia interview, we find out if Brinkley thinks he’s pretty.
Photo Story — March 17th Morningside Choral Concert
- Dr. Jill Wilson warms up her women’s choir before the concert began Sunday afternoon.
- A Bel Canto singer, McKenzie Reece, warms up. The group sang through sections of each of their song selections before retreating backstage as the audience began filing in.
- Blair Remmers performs a solo for Eclectix Morningside’s jazz group. In the background, Brittney Andersen and Channing Pick provide backup for Remmers’ rendition of Jason Mraz’s “I’m Yours.”
- Mr. Watson watches intently as the jazz choir performs, one member short. Watson directs the group, which practices weekly.
- Nate Hettinger, Kade Herrig, and Scott Kruse perform with Eclectix. Kruse is a four-year senior member.
- Musicians such as April McCormick often find multiple ways to express their creativity, such as tattoos. Music is more accepting than other majors of student self-expression.
- Dr. Jill Wilson introduces her women’s choir during the choral concert.
- Bel Canto singers perform with auxiliary percussion instruments during “Peace on Earth… and lots of little crickets.”
- Mr. Watson prepares to take the stage and direct the Singing Men. Watson recently completed his 10th tour with the College Choir.
- Mr. Watson takes a bow after the Singing Men’s final selection on the concert. Eppley Auditorium will undergo renovations beginning April 1. The only unaffected part of the theater will be the pipe organ and the stage floor.
- Eric Plemel leads Justin Dixson offstage. Dixson, a blind student, serves as a human pitch pipe for the choirs he sings in.
- Mr. Watson gestures toward an empty stage as the College Choir, out of frame, files up from the back of the auditorium. Watson gave a short account of the group’s travels during their annual tour.
- The College Choir claps along as Blair Remmers, bottom left, sings a gospel solo. The morning before the concert, the group traveled to South Sioux City, Nebr. to perform a set of religious songs.
- Seniors Tayler Davis, front, and Karen Hatlestad walk offstage after the concert.
- Choir members and alumni partake in the choral tradition of singing the Morningside hymn together after every concert. The hymn is often a tearful event.
Unethical Photos
Murdered animals. Not okay.

So maybe these aren’t necessarily taken by the media, but newspapers print them as “reader submitted.” Barf.

The photo story at this link fits the example of surveillance theory, I believe. Stuff is going on, and photojournalism is the medium that is going to show other people. Like any good surveillance, photojournalism needs to tell the world what is really, and I mean really going on. It’s easy to hear about people dying and suffering in concentration camps, but these pictures pretty much prove it.
Visual Perception -http://www.walkofheroes.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/detail-of-american-flag-11279635008nzaN.jpg
What does this picture make you feel? This photo is representative of visual perception because while the pictures is really just of a flag, most people will take the flag to mean something else. They see the fabric and the colors, but think America! Baseball! Mom’s apple pie! Soldiers! Fireworks! Beer commercials!
“Final 12″
- The pipes of First Lutheran Church’s organ loom ominously over the choir balcony. Built in 1990 by Rick Darrow, the organ is still played every Sunday morning. Long-time member Mrs. K. has been the primary organist since its installation in the church.
- Many Americans are opting for “Designer Breeds” such as Brinkley, a Labradoodle. “It’s too bad the AKC and Westminster dog shows won’t allow designer breeds to compete,” one Labradoodle owner says. “They love to play and would be great energetic show dogs.”
- With high winds in full force on Feb. 27, caution was advised to drivers. Here, cars travel more slowly than usual on Highway 20.
- A mid-February blizzard dumped nine inches of snow in Sioux City, Iowa. Police officials have notified the community that snowbound vehicles will be towed starting on the 26th.
- The starting line-up (Nate Rogers, Austin Fritza, Jordon Comstock, Alex Borchers, and Skye Aldrich) for the South Sioux City Cardinals waits to get back into the game Tuesday night at their home court in the South Sioux City Mini Dome on January 29th. The Cardinals lost the game in a heartbreaking last-minute basket.
- South Sioux City boys’ basketball cheerleaders’ new uniforms have received varying feedback. “The skirts used to be a lot longer,” a veteran cheerleader in the stands said. “I guess that’ll get the crowd on her feet, though.” Here, cheerleaders pump up the crowd during a January 29th game.
- “I like lots of bright colors in my designs,” says Claire DeRoin, an amateur interior decorator. “Patterns are a nice way to break things up, but bold colors are in this season.”
- Some people still prefer paper mail to electronic messaging, including forward deployed military personnel and their pen-pals. “Knowing that a letter in my hand came from the sands of a combat zone is very humbling,” Claire DeRoin said of her collection of written correspondence from a Marine in Afghanistan. The Postal Service recently announced that mail delivery will be cut back to five days a week.
- Members of the rock band Journey take their final bow during their Sioux City tour stop on February 5th. The group took on a new lead singer in 2007. The group has given former lead singer, Steve Perry, an open invitation to rejoin the group.
- Arnel Pineda, a Filipino, has been singing with American rock group Journey since he was discovered on YouTube in 2007. Here he interacts with the crowd in Sioux City, Iowa, on February 5, 2013 at the Tyson Events Center. After battling a throat infection last year, Pineda is back on stage doing what he loves.
- Philosophy’s spring fragrance collection will be available in fine retail stores starting in March 2013.
- Junior Michael Lewis eats fast food while finishing up a project for class on Tuesday. Multi-tasking is an essential skill students must have in order to succeed in college.
